COMMENTARY 

By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Thursday, October 2, 2025 

OPINION: 


The Biden Justice Department and prosecutor Jack Smith were involved in more than just destroying President Trump in 2022-2023 as a presidential candidate. 

We now know, thanks to Sen. Charles E. Grassley and documents provided by an FBI whistleblower, that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s team launched a much more exhaustive investigation. 

Called Arctic Frost, the FBI onslaught focused on Mr. Trump and on the conservative movement, its money, infrastructure and brain trusts. The FBI theory was that groups such as the Republican National Committee contributed to Mr. Trump’s claims that the 2020 election count was rigged. 

In September, Mr. Grassley disclosed the existence of FBI subpoenas for Republicans’ bank records as special counsel Jack Smith worked toward an indictment of Mr. Trump for attempting to reverse his 2020 election loss. Those fraud charges went dormant after Mr. Trump won the presidency in 2024. Mr. Garland, Mr. Biden’s attorney general, appointed Mr. Smith as special counsel on Nov. 18, 2022. Mr. Smith assumed control of Arctic Frost as FBI agents continued to issue subpoenas into 2023. 

Talk about an enemy’s list. Talk about a fishing expedition. The Grassley whistleblower supplied a spreadsheet created by FBI agents from Arctic Frost. The Excel document comprises more than 90 names and groups, a who’s who in Republican power circles, their banks, and the dates subpoenas were issued in 2022-2023.

 “Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump. It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,” Mr. Grassley said. 

The FBI subpoenas went right to the top: The Republican National Committee, the Republican Attorneys General Association and the Trump-inspired America First Policy Institute. 

The think tank is powered by Trump-aligned movers and shakers who have emerged as critical outside advisers to Mr. Trump’s second term. Its co-founder is Larry Kudlow, a senior economic adviser to Mr. Trump during his first term and now host of “Kudlow” on the Fox Business Network.
